Learning’s website uses cookies. Cookies are small files stored on
your computer’s hard disk. They do not contain any personal information, but
are used to facilitate subsequent visits to our site(s). You can switch off the
use of cookies in your browser if you wish. However, bear in mind that if you
do so, your visits to our site(s) may not run as smoothly.
Websites mainly use cookies to:
- identify users
- remember users’ custom preferences
- help users complete tasks without having to re‑enter information when
browsing from one page to another or when visiting the site later.
Cookies can also be used for online behavioural target advertising and to
show adverts relevant to something that the user searched for in the past.
How are they used?
The web server supplying the webpage can store a cookie on the user’s
computer or mobile device. An external web server that manages files included
or referenced in the webpage is also able to store cookies. All these cookies
are called http header cookies. Another way of storing cookies is through
JavaScript code contained or referenced in that page.
Each time the user requests a new page, the web server can receive the values
of the cookies it previously set and return the page with content relating to
these values. Similarly, JavaScript code is able to read a cookie belonging to
its domain and perform an action accordingly.
What are the different types of cookies?
A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it
belongs. By lifespan, a
cookie is either a:
- session cookie which is erased when the
user closes the browser or - persistent cookie which remains on the
user’s computer/device for a pre-defined period of time.
As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either:
- first-party cookies which are set by the web
server of the visited page and share the same domain - third-party cookies stored by a
different domain to the visited page’s domain. This can happen when the
webpage references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain.
What cookies do we use?
- Performance cookies. We use Google Analytics cookies to collect information about the use of our Site, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. This helps us improve your browsing experience. Google Analytics analyses your interaction with our website and stores information about IP address, operating system, web browser, pages visited, demographics of the users, device used, and where the visit originated. Google provides certain privacy options and choices in this regard, which are described here.
